DeterTech AI cameras deter trespass at Dingwall crossings
Network Rail reported less trespass after installing AI cameras at Dingwall, followed by a renewed rise
Problem
People used railway tracks and a bridge as shortcuts between Dingwall crossings. The behaviour exposed them to moving trains.
Approach
Network Rail installed DeterTech cameras that detected departures from designated routes. The system issued audio warnings and sent live images to railway staff and British Transport Police. Signage and safety campaigns accompanied the cameras.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
Trespass fell after several measures were introduced together. Network Rail subsequently reported incidents rising again as the weather improved.
